I was originally the No.9 member when Tom O'Neil launched GOLDDERBY back in the spring of 2001. Many other members, throughout this more-than-a-decade period, have been superb at having contributed insightful and valuable information—along with their perspectives—on the topics that have been discussed. It has all made for a pleasurable and high-quality Web site.

Thank you, syrus80!
Elizabeth Hubbard was better off with As the World Turns. No doubt. No disrespect to One Life to Live. She was on before I started tuning in later that very year. And it is good to see her in a scene with Robin Strasser.
These video clips give me a nice memory of two other actresses who are also very talented: Shelly Burch and Margaret Klenck.
Thanks, again!
ReplyFebruary 20, 2022 at 9:51 pm #1204811420I really wish [National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences] would share with us who has submitted and who has chosen not to submit and in which category too.
NATAS does not want—and does not intend—to let that be known.

ReplyJuly 24, 2021 at 12:16 am #1204360313Marla Gibbs received five Emmy nominations, from 1981 to 1985, for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for CBS’s The Jeffersons. Series co-lead Sherman Hemsley was nominated once (in 1984). And co-lead Isabel Sanford was nominated seven times and won in 1981. (To this date, Sanford is the first and only woman who is black to have won that specific category—and the first of her race to have won a lead-acting Emmy for a regular television series.) The Jeffersons was a groundbreaking series. And all three deserved to win (even though only Sanford did). Perhaps this upcoming role on NBC’s Days of Our Lives will be a really good one for Gibbs, who is now age 90, and I hope people will enjoy it.
ReplyJune 29, 2021 at 2:24 pm #1204323430Two veterans of ABC daytime soaps have died.
Ray McDonnell, an original cast member (as Dr. Joe Martin) on All My Children, was 93.

June 25, 2021 at 8:21 pm #1204318806One more item perhaps worthy of note: Maurice Benard made his daytime debut—as Nico Kelly on ABC’s All My Children—the same year which marked the birth of Jacqueline Macinnes Wood. (Small world.)
ReplyJune 25, 2021 at 8:15 pm #1204318798Worthy of Note: 2021 is the first time since 1981, and the second in Daytime Emmys history, that the Lead Actor and Lead Actress Emmys were awarded to the same pair who previously won in the same year.
1981 wins for Douglass Watson (NBC’s Another World) and Judith Light (ABC’s One Life to Live) repeated after they both won in 1980.
2021 wins for Maurice Benard (ABC’s General Hospital) and Jacqueline Maciness Wood (CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful) repeated after they both won in 2019.
Also Notable: While this was the third win for General Hospital’s Maurice Benard, his first in 2003 also saw a Lead Actress winner from The Bold and the Beautiful—Susan Flannery (with the last of her four statues)—so, perhaps with this pattern, that series should root for Benard to continue winning in Lead Actor.
ReplyJune 25, 2021 at 7:32 pm #1204318749So Cady McClain joins Justin Deas as the only 2 performers to win for 3 different shows!
Cady McClain actually pulled off something not experienced by Justin Deas.
McClain’s three Emmys come from all three U.S. broadcast networks which have or had established daytime soaps: ABC’s All My Children (won in 1990), CBS’s As the World Turns (2004), and NBC’s Days of Our Lives (2021).
ReplyJune 13, 2021 at 3:56 pm #1204299388…I remember that David Lago gave a strange acceptance speech!
In his 2005 Emmy acceptance speech, David Lago had Oscar winner Christopher Walken on his mind.

The previous Academy president let us know the committee has an agenda.
ReplyMay 9, 2021 at 1:06 pm #1204248350The entertainment industry should be paying us—human beings and consumers—to watch and/or listen to what they have produced.
May 9, 2021 at 12:32 pm #1204248325The Oscars, on YouTube, have some videos of winners which include 1967 Best Supporting Actress Estelle Parsons.
Can they be linked here?
ReplyMay 8, 2021 at 3:08 am #1204246695I thought the creation and implementation of the younger-acting performance categories, beginning in 1985, was smart. Then, by the first half of the 1990s, I gained a new perspective: they were a way of keeping young actors away from those actors who submitted and were nominated for lead. So many—too many—competed at this third tier when they should have been in the first tier. Barely anyone went against this. I can think of Santa Barbara’s Marcy Walker, who was 25 when she was first nominated as a lead in 1987, and won at age 27 in 1989, and that is it.
ReplyMay 6, 2021 at 2:02 am #1204244428I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that OLTL didn’t even get a Drama Series nomination throughout the whole 90s
Especially the 94 95 era when it was arguably the best daytime soap on televisionOne Life to Live had a peculiar experience.
It set the record for the most lead actress wins. It won in lead actor twice. In 1992, it established having won in supporting actor. In 1994, it took care of winning supporting actress and younger actor. By 1983, it won directing more than any other soap—three times—until it was overtaken by The Young and the Restless. By 1994, it had won its second Emmy for writing.
Despite its key wins, OLTL through the 1990s was nominated for outstanding drama series only twice—in 1973 and 1983. It did not get nominated again, for its third try at the best series Emmy, until 2000.
The fact that OLTL finally won the top Emmy, in 2002, felt like a miracle.
